New Retarus Managed Capture Services
facilitate smooth data interchange with
business partners
Retarus has launched new Managed Capture Services, which allow business
documents (received by fax or email) to be automatically captured as structured data.
This provides companies with a robust functionality to process orders or invoices
directly in the ERP system, without any manual efforts or expense for entering the
data. The processes at the communication partners’ end do not need to be changed at
all. By using this new cloud service, enterprises benefit from efficient processes, a fast
cash flow and satisfied business partners.
Manually capturing data is not only time and cost intensive, but also prone to error.
With Retarus Managed Capture Services, complex ordering or billing processes can be
automated to a large extent, which means no more complex paper based processes.
The services support all common interfaces, file types and application formats.
This means that business partners can be connected without much effort and
sector specific requirements can be implemented with ease. These accelerated, digital
workflows and the minimised error rate resulting from them, reduce process costs by
around 60 per cent as compared to manual data entry.
